Sometimes art doesn't have to be perfect to feel exactly right.
This playful ceramic sculpture does something few artworks dare: it doesn't take itself too seriously — and precisely because of that, it gains so much character. The somewhat surprised gaze, the charming bunny teeth, and... yes, those pants that are actually just its rear end — it brings a subtle smile, every time anew.
It's a disarming work. Not loud, not screaming, but gently humorous and wonderfully human. As if it looks at you and thinks: "we're all just doing our best."
The combination of rough, earthy texture at the top and the glossy green at the bottom also gives the sculpture visual balance. It feels both pure and playful — ideal for a place where life can be lived. Think of a sideboard, a reading nook, or a second home where things don't have to be quite so stark.
At De Tuin der Kunsten, it's not about perfection, but about soul. And this work fully embodies that. It was created within a social institution, where creativity is given space and where authenticity is more important than perfection. And you see that. And you feel that.
Perhaps that's precisely why this sculpture resonates so much.
